7.3 Integration of PSEA into planning, programming and operational processes
- WAGGGS ensures that risks of sexual exploitation and abuse are properly assessed, addressed and monitored through integrating PSEA into its planning, programming and operational processes (e.g. strategic planning, risk assessment, budgeting, programme cycle management) and allocates sufficient human and financial resources as needed.
- WAGGGS conducts thorough and inclusive risk analysis and assessments on SEA while designing projects and programme activities with mitigation measures and identifies the groups that are the most marginalised and at heightened risk of SEA. This may include site safety mapping, focus group
discussions with intended beneficiaries and other stakeholders (including women, children, vulnerable adults, local authorities/communities, etc.) and other relevant research methods. - WAGGGS has safe and PSEA-sensitive human resources practices and processes in place during recruitment, contracting and performance management for both WAGGGS Staff and Volunteers.
